They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but for many people, spending Valentine's Day without your significant other is less than ideal. However, there are many ways to make the day of lovers romantic even if you're miles apart.
Below are eight creative ways to celebrate Valentine's Day for long-distance couples.
1. Buy A Customized Gift
Some of the most popular Valentine's Day gifts are flowers, cards and candy, but if you can't spend the day with your loved one, buying them a customized gift may be the way to go. If your Valentine has a sweet tooth, you can add a touching message or personal photo on their favorite candy.
2. Have A Virtual Date Night
Just because you can't physically spend Valentine's Day together, doesn't mean you can't celebrate with a date night.
3. Mail Them A Letter 
Sitting down to write a letter might seem a little outdated, but when you can't spend Valentine's Day with your boyfriend or girlfriend, penning a love note could be very romantic.
4. Create A Love Playlist 
If you know your significant other is really into music, you could create a special playlist for them full of romantic ballads, songs from their favorite artists or tunes that remind you of your relationship with them.
5. Send Them A Gift Card To Their Favorite Bakery Or Coffee Shop
Let your Valentine know you're thinking about them by treating them to drink or quick bite to eat to one of their go-to eateries.
6. Create A Scrapbook Or Photo Album
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" definitely holds true for couple's who can't spend Valentine's Day together.
7. Celebrate On A Different Day
Just because Valentine's Day is recognized on Feb. 14 doesn't mean you and your boyfriend or girlfriend can't celebrate it on another day.
8. Plan A Surprise Visit 
Spending Valentine's Day without your significant other can be tough, so if you absolutely can't wait, plan a trip and surprise them!
